Life of Brin

Friday night’s special event at Star Bar in Siem Reap brings together musicians from all over the country and, of course, all over the world, in celebration of the personage that is Brin Wood – the man out front with such bands as Hollywood Hot Dogs, The Conspiracy Theory and Those Handsome Devils.  Here’s some archival material from the LengPleng vaults – a look at his unlikely duo Boogie Noir in 2019 and his Passing Chords mini-profile from 2020.  See you there.
